Mother, you were just a girl, So many years ago. You had your loves and had your dreams, You watched us come and go.   You watched us make the same mistakes, That you had made before, But that just made you hold us tight, And love us all the more.   We haven’t always thought about the things that you have seen. To us you’ve just been ‘Mother’, No thought of who you’ve been.   But we remember now in love, Your life from start to end, And we’re just glad we knew you, As Mother,
